If you are a fan of buffalo wings, you are going to love these Buffalo Chicken Butter Lettuce Cups.
I take a short cut by shredding up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. It’s a huge time saver and I love how the shredded chicken works in these wraps.

I have seen recipes for Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and this could be another choice for this wrap.

Hi –
Making the buffalo lettuce wraps tonight. But I’m using ground turkey instead. I’ll let you know how it goes with the turkey.
Best, Leigh
